APC is for A Plastic Crate!

This came in from Peter Evans the other day, in fact I think he gave me the other ('Japanese') one as well!

Rack Toy accessory or my name's Keith! The running gear is a standard moulding you may know from cheapo 4th or 5th generation piracies of Centurion or M60, with the one-piece superstructure clipping over the upper track-ends.

The body is vaguely M113, but, like both Airfix APC's equally not quite any APC, which is not to say it may not be based on a modern Asian machine, but is of a scale where it's going to be a bit make-believe whoever you use it with.

Compared with the Japanese-stickered one (see here back in January) above, and with a tatty example of the Airfix first-version beast below. It is the biggest 'readymade' APC (we looked at a bunch many years ago) and consequently while it would prove useful in any 'old school' war gaming army, could also provide a cheap source of battle-taxi for 28mm space marine types.

Andy Warhol may be dead, but he lives-on in Picasa!
